Petrobras says pipeline leaked 600 liters of crude, some in ocean

RIO DE JANEIRO, June 19 (Reuters) - An oil pipeline along
Brazil's coast near Rio de Janeiro leaked 600 liters (3.77
barrels) of oil into nearby water courses with about 50 liters
leaching into the Atlantic Ocean, state-run oil company
Petrobras said on Friday.

Teams with vacuum equipment, floating oil barriers,
absorbent materials, boats and trucks are on the scene trying to
clean up the spill and prevent it from spreading, Petroleo
Brasileiro SA, as the company is formally known, said
in a statement.
